To post content to Chat or Team Inbox, you need to use the target flow's API token. They can be found from tokens page.
require 'rubygems'
require 'flowdock'
# create a new Flow object with target flow's api token and external user name (enough for posting to Chat)
flow = Flowdock::Flow.new(:api_token => "__FLOW_TOKEN__", :external_user_name => "John")
# send message to Chat
flow.push_to_chat(:content => "Hello!", :tags => ["cool", "stuff"])
# create a new Flow object with target flow's api token and sender information for Team Inbox posting
flow = Flowdock::Flow.new(:api_token => "__FLOW_TOKEN__",
:source => "myapp", :from => {:name => "John Doe", :address => "[email protected]"})
# send message to Team Inbox
flow.push_to_team_inbox(:subject => "Greetings from Flowdock API Gem!",
:content => "<h2>It works!</h2><p>Now you can start developing your awesome application for Flowdock.</p>",
:tags => ["cool", "stuff"], :link => "http://www.flowdock.com/")
require 'rubygems'
require 'flowdock'
# create a new Flow object with the api tokens of the target flows
flow = Flowdock::Flow.new(:api_token => ["__FLOW_TOKEN__", "__ANOTHER_FLOW_TOKEN__"], ... )

The Flowdock API Ruby Gem includes a ready task for sending deployment notifications with Capistrano (you need to have Grit installed too). Just add the task into your deploy.rb file and configure the settings to match your project and flow:
require 'flowdock/capistrano'
# for Flowdock Gem notifications
set :flowdock_project_name, "My project"
set :flowdock_deploy_tags, ["frontend"]
set :flowdock_api_token, ["_YOUR_API_TOKEN_HERE_"]
